چکیده

شبکه‌‌های نوآوری به مجموعه از شرکت‌‌ها و نهاد‌‌ها اطلاق می‌‌گردد که در کنار هم برای یک هدف مشترک که همان توسعه دانش و نوآوری می‌‌باشد، تلاش می‌‌کنند. اهمیت این شبکه‌‌سازی‌‌ها در حوزه‌‌های فناورانه همچون زیست دارو قابل‌توجه می‌‌باشد. هدف این پژوهش بررسی نقش ناهمگونی شبکه بر قابلیت‌‌های شبکه‌‌ای و عملکرد دانشی شرکت‌‌ها در شبکه‌‌های زیست دارویی می‌‌باشد. به این منظور، ضمن شناسایی ابعاد و مؤلفه‌های اصلی از طریق مبانی نظری و مصاحبه با پانزده خبره حوزه زیست دارویی، برای پاسخگویی به سؤالات پژوهش، نسبت به تدوین مدل اقدام گردید. به‌منظور بررسی فرضیات پژوهش، پرسشنامه‌‌های جمع‌‌آوری شده از تعدادی از شرکت‌‌های دانش‌‌بنیان زیست دارویی در سراسر کشور با روش مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری و نرم‌افزار Smart Pls مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. با توجه به نتایج به‌دست‌آمده نقش ناهمگونی شبکه بر قابلیت‌‌های شبکه‌‌ای و عملکرد دانشی شرکت‌‌ها در شبکه‌‌ها مورد تائید قرار گرفت. همچنین یافته‌‌ها نشان داد که ناهمگونی شبکه از طریق توسعه قابلیت شبکه‌‌ای بر عملکرد دانشی شرکت‌‌ها نقش مؤثرتری دارد و قابلیت‌‌های شبکه‌‌ای نقش متغیر میانجی در رابطه بین ناهمگونی دانشی شبکه و عملکرد دانشی شرکت‌‌ها در شبکه دارد. بر این اساس پیشنهاد می‌‌گردد شرکت‌‌ها برای حضور موفق در شبکه‌‌های نوآوری در جهت برقراری ارتباط با طیف گسترده‌‌ای از اعضای شبکه با ماهیت‌‌های گوناگون اقدام نمایند و قابلیت‌‌های شبکه‌‌ای خود را توسعه دهند.

چکیده [English]

Innovation networks refer to a set of firms and other institutions that work together for a common goal، which is the development of knowledge and innovation. The importance of these networks in technological fields such as biomedicine is significant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of network heterogeneity on network capabilities and knowledge performance of firms in biopharmaceutical networks. For this purpose، while identifying the main dimensions and components through theoretical foundations and interviewing 15 experts in the field of biopharmaceuticals، to answer the research questions، a model was developed. In order to test the research hypotheses، questionnaires collected from a number of biopharmaceutical knowledge-based companies across the country were analyzed using structural equation modeling and Smart Pls software. According to the obtained results، the role of network heterogeneity on network capabilities and knowledge performance of firms in networks was confirmed. Findings also showed that network heterogeneity has a more effective role on the knowledge performance through the development of network capabilities and network capabilities have a mediating role in the relationship between network knowledge heterogeneity and firm knowledge performance in the network. Accordingly، it is suggested that companies to successfully participate in innovation networks to communicate with a wide range of network members of different natures and develop their network capabilities.
